Bottom line, do everything you can on your PC to give it the best possible conditions when running. But just know that even when you’ve done all of that the game may lag and stutter at times.
it just feels so underwelming any time I use a mount, the lack of control and healing you can provide, like you said, makes them too expendable.
but I am a sentimental fool.
ive seen a couple of vids showing some solutions, but at this point, its just an optimization problem which the devs should prioritise
Agreed. However, I’m fairly new to the game, myself, so may be way off base here, but from what I’ve observed, and understand, the dev team are really small and are understandably focussing on content at the moment. Hopefully optimisation will become more of a priority in the future.
yeah hopefully they will
until then, i guess i have to just bear the lag
How can I get my stuff
It's above, with two stared seeker soilders. bows/ no other weapons cause damage from below, their hitboxes prevent from passing
(The gravestone you see is not the one with my stuff, the one I need to get to is in a room past this point)
that is a tough situation. I'd make a new character.. Corpsey... make a portal home outside the entrance, and set spawn point and just throw as many deaths as it takes to get that solider to move before it destroys the stairs. Wouldn't risk my normal character any further. Ice arrows to the butt or a well placed fire staff explosion on the ceiling, but within aoe for solider, and not stairs..
Sounds like a job for “Body Recovery”
Yes, thankfully I am playing with Epicloot so I am hitting a hammer with lighning against the stairs, very slowly doing damage, about 20 minutes in and one of them is at half health 🙂
can you craft the big pillar in the ||ashland ||? I think I miss some building piece of the ||new stone||
Hello all, I been having issue getting my auto clicker to work with VAlheim anyone knows of a good non intrusive autoclicker
Why do some trees drop feathers? Are there birds sitting in them that die or something?
D:
fowl play....
Shouldn't have sat in my farming trees
(fun fact: it's not real birds, though the feather drop is meant to imply exactly that. actual birds always drop exactly 3 feathers, while trees drop iirc 1. real birds don't seem to collide with chopped logs)
Maybe it's supposed to be like birds nests
do greyward or whatever their name is (the throwing small rocks guys) destroy my house?
cuz i keep seeing them destroying things i placed outside of it
like workbenches, torches
oh ok
so is my house itself safe?
here, they keep walking around throwing rocks at that torch
they won't attack walls, roofing, flooring and other such "construction" things unprovoked, yea
good
(there are a few spawnproofing structures that aren't attacked on sight though, which includes campfires)
also, does wood around roofs rotten when it rains?
unless they are aggroed on you and you are inside that building.. but it would take them ages to break through
rain/water damage doesn't go beyond 50% health
like these
World slider for full rain damage when?
oh, those diagonal beams are immune like roofing
oh good to hear then, at least i wont have to be worried about rain destroying my house then
oh alright, what about those normal ones? like on the top and on the botton of the roof
the straight ones aren't immune, so i think they'll get damaged by the rain, depends on whether or not the game considers them covered by the roof, but it doesn't look like it would
i see, thanks mate
For a melee, what weapon do people think is best for Lord Reto?
Berserkir Axes
With Iolite?
Unless you can be fine with missing 64+ hp at all times, then Bloodstone is better for the single-target.
Wiki says Lord Retois immune to chop?
every enemy in the game is
but he isn't immune to slash
chop is for trees only, since trees are immune to slash.
Understood.
The wiki doesn't show attack speed for the Berserker Axes, but I have to assume it must be much faster than a sword to make up for ~30% of their damage being ignored. Is that close to correct?
i remember them being pretty fast.
they have very little windup, especially at the start of the combo, but surprisingly long recovery before you can roll again, something to be aware of
What is the -30%?
(probably chop, since it's an axe)
Which has nothing to do with damage and shouldn't be looked at ever when talking about combat in any context?
Some of us are lower on the learning curve than others. That's why we come here asking... 😀
it is pretty confusing if you're looking at it on the wiki yea 😅 that's why the chop and pickaxe damage types are hidden from tooltips in-game
good to know
(though the fact that chop is hidden also misleads some people into believing jotun bane is worse for woodcutting than the BM axe, since it has lower slash)
I've seen here that jotun bane is best for wood cutting and didn't really understand why.
yea it still has higher chop than the BM axe
(the berserkir axes are probably even better though, especially with that quick first attack)
I've played Valheim since 2021 and I am still learning things about the game mechanics.
Trollstav is best for woodcutting.
Other thing about Berserkir is that 2 of the 4 swings in the attack chain actually have 2 hits in them. So you get 6 hits out of 4 swings.
i dived more into the valheim lag i talked here earlier, and found out its because of the unity version, which was resolved in the 2024 version, will iron gate update the engine to fix their game in the future?
We've probably had half a dozen engine upgrades.
I sure hope this is something they address before 1.0, along with the many other things that cause frame drops
why does my resting buff for 300% regen buff come and go?
Like... why does the timer run out?
I have shelter and fire, but it comes and goes
im training elemental magic and there is a nearby golem, but i still get resting buff with 3 comfort while it's alerted, it comes and goes
hmm i see, it must be the stone golem triggering it on and off, but then how far away should i stay
why does the game crash anytime me or my friends try to start a server
how can i open a server
but the problem still persists
yeah i hope that too, i believe it is more important and should be done firstly than adding more content, but the devs probably already started working on it so it wouldnt be easy to just stop and switch interests
i still hope they do that in the upcoming updates
It HAS been addressed. The game is MUCH more efficient than it used to be. Lag generally only becomes an issue when there's a network issue between players. Aside from the issues in Ashlands specifcally which they ARE working on.
buddy, the game still lags, the new unity engine hasnt been added to the game, but i give up on trying to discuss with people that actually believe the game is fine when there's many ppl talking about the lag, its not something the devs should ignore because u think the game is running fine for everyone
I never said it was running fine for everyone, I literally just said the opposite but I also explained why. And yes, we've had multiple Unity engine updates over the last 3 years.
Question for you:
Say they upgrade to the latest version of unity tonight. And tomorrow you still have the same issue.
What then?
yes, you said "Lag generally only becomes an issue when there's a network issue between players.", but most people who say their game is lagging also claim that their pc is good, their internet is also good, and that they are playing solo, so i dont think that applies to them
yes i do it had multiple unity engine updates over the last 3 years, but still, just because it has been update before, doesnt mean that the new update isnt gonna help, and if it doesnt, well, then its just about actually changing their engine to something that works
which would probably take a lot longer, and cost a lot more i know, but still, dont u think it would solve a lot of the problems the game currently have?
well then its about unity itself, and like i said in the message responding to derek, then they should try switching to a better engine, which like i said, would not be easy
Oh, sure, rip up 5+ years of work with the game 90% complete, what a genius idea.
A new game engine isn't going to improve player to player ping, that's on the players.
A new game engine isn't going to stop lag when people build gigantic bases with over 20k instances.
so u're fine with people stopping playing the game because it doesnt run well enough for them, as long as u get new content delivered and are able to play it?
Sure. No game is playable on every machine.
Any game released is going to have a natural % of people who drop off due to hardware as technology is always moving forward.
This isn't something you are/are not fine with. It simply is. 🤷♂️
There's games I know of that have been out in EA for 2 years now that just announced they have to drop all PS4 support as the console no longer can handle what they want to do with the game. 🤷♂️
I think the issue is that an engine is like the framing of a house and the rest of the development is all the walls, carpeting, etc. Once you choose an engine it's basically impossible to just change the engine. The rest of the game is literally built around the engine's behavior, and the only way to change it would be an entire rewrite of the game. That's out of the question so it's a pointless topic to discuss.
Not exactly the analogy I would have gone with, but the final conclusion is spot-on.
I chose that because it's more apparent to the layman how central it is to the structure. It's not like being able to swap out the engine in a vehicle.
Going to a different version of the same engine is a hard enough task. Switching is absolutely never going to happen.
alright mate, like i said, im not gonna discuss this any further with someone who isnt listening, i said many people who say their game lags say their connection is good, which then wouldnt be the problem, and about gigantic bases people also claim that their bases arent big and that they still lag, like me for example, im almost finishing building a house which isnt really that big but its also not small, but still, even before i started building it the game was already having fps drops sometimes, and my world doesnt have any other builds, only a really small house i made when i started the world, and then no moats, no terrain changes at all, and my game still lags sometimes
with that said, like u guys always do, specially with the other message sevrahn sent "Any game released is going to have a natural % of people who drop off due to hardware as technology is always moving forward.", like ive already said many times, my pc is fine, i can even tell u my components so u can evaluate the situation and then i would actually shut up with this matter if my pc was really that bad, which i think it isnt
so i dont think the lag is either a connection nor pc problem
I've listened. I've addressed your concerns. I'm not sure what more you want from me.
alright mate, like i said, im not gonna discuss this any further with someone who isnt listening,
Proceeds to further discuss in the form of writing an entire novel.
Also, connection is good is misleading. You can have a ping of <10ms to the server but if your ping to another player, mainly the chunk owner is large then you're in trouble.
yes, fine, it would be hard to change engine, well then, like i said, they should at least try the newest engine update, it could either help, or sure, could also do nothing, but it still would be a good shot of solving this problem
They're on it.
Last I checked we were on the latest 2022 LTS version.
wait a sec, ill try to explain myself better
He said, after saying he wasn't going to continue...
I'm not sure the problem is us not understand your issue either.
im trying to show u what i mean by saying i hope they update the engine
And I've told you repeatedly that they have.
what i saw about the engine update, was this post on reddit
continues to ignore any nonsense from Reddit
alright u're one of those, sure i give up, u win
I doubt it. There'll be someone with the exact same complaint in here tomorow. There's no winning.
Reddit, the source of 100% accurate knowledge.
The other issue with the engine is that Unity has changed some of their licensing rules. To update to the newer versions the devs might have to accept new conditions, and those might be unacceptable. But, if that's not the case, I guarantee that the devs are looking at what they can upgrade in the engine and how it can affect things. But for the rest of the month they're on vacation, and they will do what they can when they can. There's a ton of work that's always possibly out there, but only limited people and hours in the day to do it.
Going from 2022 LTS to Unity 6 isn't 'updating the engine' that's switching to effectively a whole new engine.
well, then u can actually understand that there are many people with such problem, yet u still try to ignore that saying its the player's fault
Settle down, y'all
we're just discussing stuff out, where's the problem
The problem is disagreeing with what a mod says 😂
i dont get where i disagreed with her?
🤦♂️
🚶♂️
No need to throw fuel into the fire, either.
for putting god mode on with commands, in steam libraby-properties - is the only thing in that slot be "-console"
In the launch options, yes. Note that if this is for a dedicated server game instead of a local game, the set of administrative commands are limited, and you'll need to be in the server's admin list.
100% the easiest Reto kill ive done of the 2 times ive killed him was iolite zerker axes and the jade spear. Just throw the Jade spear until the nature proc happens and then unload from behind with axes. Rinse and repeat
anyone have a list of commands for ashlands?
Commands are the same for every biome.
the list is just weird when i go for ashwood
Oh, you mean item IDs, not commands.
oh yes sorry ids lol
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Item_IDs has most item IDs.
does loot despawn?
if its on the ground giving off those gold stars, they eventually do (assuming it isn't within the effective area of a player base item(s)).
easiest way to get rid of things faster though is using the obliterator or tossing things into the ocean.
nah i dont want to get rid of em, actually the opposite, i keep getting my inv full of things either cuz mobs come attack me or smt else, so i dropped them in my house while im getting wood to put some chests
Does the windmill actually need to be in the wind?
it needs wind to act like a mill, but I dont think you need a windy area just to build it...
how usefull is the root harness vs yaggluth
not very? yag is more fire and lightning damage than anything else.
Didn’t it used to say on the loading screen with your character how many deaths you have??
I’d did that go away with an update.
Is there a way to check? Playing on Very difficult and I got to be near 80 😆🫣
I don't recall that ever being a thing.
Hmm.. could be mistaken..
That was never a thing and I played first week game came out in EA
if i put stairs like this to make some windows, will they rot?
wiki says yes, stairs would get damaged by rain, but only down to 50% hp.
but, if you wanted a window, you could extend out the roof a little. let me see if I can find good examples in the building screenshot section.
alright, thats what i imagined yeah
yeah i think i know what u mean, that was my first plan but i guess i forgot to do it lmao, thx for reminding me
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1202310893757530142/1259457048886771854/wald_2.png?ex=6691af08&is=66905d88&hm=0d5ba2b32b7aeee644585d594ea14ccc47ff91db0243fe7be32db00967e576bb&
like the 2 smaller roofs comeing off the bigger/main roof section in this post.
left and right side.
this yeah?
ya
yeah i see, that was what i had planned, but then so much stuff just to do, getting wood, killing stuff that comes near me, i ended up forgetting about it lol
well, your welcome for the random reminder 😉
is this good or should i go higher?
i mean, theres a building channel i should go there
Same here.. just have been a mod then. I rember it had total number of builds and crafts also
is this where mines usually are? run down dvergr structures with vines on them. LOADS of seekers outside, but I don't see an entrance
Is a moat/dirt wall necessary to defend against trolls?
Yes, this is what I mark as "fake mine" on my maps xD, one of the 2 versions of Infested Mines look like that, there is another one that has big staircase going up
it helps, but you can also do other things like kite the trolls round the base just running from them until event ends, then killing the 2 that spawn
does the stagbreaker level some skill?
also, do i have to mine this stone rocks for my moats? cuz they take ages to break
RIP
my worst Mistlands I found about 7 fakes and 3 real ones with an entrance 😦
Pretty sure mobs can path over them. I would remove them.
alr
why did a greyward brute spawn near my base when i have workbenches surrounding it, and literally finished doing a moat?
and then a raid started and i got shredded because i was overweight thanks to corpse run
hmm, quality 4 drake helmet at the forge says 28 armor, but when wearing it, it's 26 armor. Is this a bug?
Check there aren’t gaps. Derek can (and probably will) correct me, if I’m wrong, but I believe the spawn suppression radius of a workbench is the same as its build effect radius. So wander round with your hammer and see where you can/can’t build.
But, also, they don’t stop stuff from walking in from outside the radius.
The wiki also says 26. My guess is the text is wrong.
Especially as the chest and legs are 26 each too.
i double checked, and i even put campfires (which i was told it does the same thing), so now ill just have to wait and pray it finally works
one thing i fear tho, trolls and greywarfs will probably throw rocks at the workbenches and campfires from a distance, but idk, we'll see
if they do, guess ill have to also make a wall, ideally made of terrain, so then ill probably have nothing to worry
work benches (just barely) are wider than a 1m wall piece. I sandwiched a workbench between 2 stake walls and capped the sides with (2) 1m wall pieces vertically on each side....
it keeps the bench out of the mobs sight and allows the spawn prevention and building area to do its thing.
When looking at an equipment piece on the forge you are seeing the stats of the next upgrade, not the current ones. And that next upgrade might be locked behind the next forge upgrade.
I use simple standing torches as spawn suppression, and kinda hide them inside of an upright log piece. Makes them look like big candles, quite decorative and they light up the area. Mind you, with workbenches it's easy to see if you covered every square inch, just run around with the building hammer out and one build piece selected, so the workbenches show their area marker. But they are way less pretty than my standing torches.
hey guys, what does the wiki mean by "pickable ground item" here?
stuff you can cultivate has a separate growth time from what I know
Any item that naturally respawns, like berries, mushrooms, thistle even the small branches.
Thanks. I will try it. I made a Primal Splintr and went out on the landscape with it. At first I didn't notice that I was rooting things becase the roots were so small and behind the creature. Are the roots bigger or more likely when you throw the spear. (I' aftarid to throw it out doors and lose it...). After a while I learned to circle the creature and notice if it had been rooted, and then I used the Thundering Axes. My easiest kill of a Morgen. Thanks!
But level 4 drake helmet is maxed, no? Does it still show some hypothetical level 5 stats? I didn’t think it did.
i can't see written texts on signs because of ''UGC Settings'' i'm playing on mac app store version, someone can help me to fix this?
Might want to seek help in the Mac specific help section: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1249850223476605009
Yeah the helmet is maxed. At least at a regular forge. Idk if anything comes later to upgrade it further. I think it is indeed showing a hypothetical upgrade stat, as I checked my other maxed equipment and they all show the same too.
my game keeps crashing when i try to make a new world
Huh, I guess I've never noticed that.
Hi I keep dying in the burial chambers. I have tried two of them. First one had a 1 star skeleton. Second one had a ghost and 3 skeletons. How can I improve it ? I go with level 1 armour, lv3 axe and lv1 shield
get a club and learn to parry (and when to kite)
Wooden Club always.
And when fightinging starred enemies, just roll instead of trying to block.
club whatever max level you can do, upgrade your wood shield a bit more, also good food maybe deer meat boar meat and honey?
40 silver for one sword is outrageous
How is that related to the channel?
Also you don't use silver for anything else except gear and like one build piece
meant to type in regular
Can someone help me and my gf beat bonemass?
mace+poison resistance
We have that we just keep getting killed lol
Is one playing as a tank(like) with 2 health foods and 1 stamina while the other is dps?
What food are you using? It’s always best to use food made with ingredients from the boss’ biome.
Turnip stew if you can, if not then deer stew and carrot soup are good starts.
Why does it always feel the wind is directly against me no matter how I try to sail xD probably confirmation bias
Definitely confirmation bias.
Guys what should I do before going to the swamp me and my friends went and we got destroyed even with bronze armor and weapons what should I get
If you aren’t farming carrots yet, start doing that. You need them to make better food, and you can use the farm later for better crops.
I am
Have you made a fermenter?
No..
You can make poison resistance, healing and stamina mead
Oh what do you put in it
You can make mead bases at a cauldron. Have you got beehives?
I got 3
Come back to the swamp with poison resistance and healing mead. You could also make stamina and tasty mead if you don’t mind having less empty inventory slots.
Ok and you put mead bases in the fermenter?
Yes. Wait a few days, and interact again to get the mead out.
Only use food made at a cauldron (but not boar jerky), with at least one health and one stamina food.
Ok and what base makes poison resistant
What weapons and shield do you have?
You can’t get anything new until you’ve got iron from a sunken crypt, but you should upgrade your equipment to level 3 if you haven’t already.
Make a fermenter (or multiple) and mead bases first so you can get upgrade materials while the mead ferments
Ok
Get mace, break face.
Ok😭
You dont need a mace right now, but you should make an iron one for the boss
He is weak to blunt and resistant to pierce
It'll also be super useful in the Mountains
The iron mace is good enough, I’ve used it for her twice.
She is resistant or immune to frost damage so the frostner is useless
ty what arrows should i pack?
Obsidian
She's immune. Iron mace all the way, or sword. Poison or plain obsidian are the best, unless you have needles from excursions into the plains.
If it’s not made with plains ingredients, it’s not over-preparing.
idk if i should do serpent stew wolf skewer and 1 cooked serpent or serpent stew eyescream and serpent meat
Quick question: if I've got the root mask, do I still need poison-res mead to go in the swamp or am I fine with just the mask?
Use serpent food instead of mountain health food, and onion soup and eyescream for stamina.
Serpent stew is far superior to cooked serpent, never eat it plain. I would do two health and at least one stamina, might even err on the side of the serpent stew and two stamina foods because you will burn through it firing arrows
they nerfed it i think i swear it used to be 80 80 now its 80 health 26 stamina
It's always been a health focused food 😉
Hearth and home made most foods become health or stamina focused instead of balanced, but I didn’t play before then.
in my day it was like this
Massive improvement to the food system tbh.
before this playthrough rn i only ate boar and deer meat and something else the whole game💀
never thought i would have to put in effort for food lol
100 obsidian arrows enough?
It depends on how lucky you are. She could spend most of the fight in air or on ground. I’d bring 200
3 medium healing
Make a terrain pillar to avoid her air attack
im just speedrunning through the base game to get to mistlands and ashlands
plains is where the fun starts for me
so many new foods and placeable items
W
i killed her
the mobs attacking me were harder than the actual boss
is there a way to change my character name
can someone help me with advice (or physical help lol) for getting my stuff back? all my good gear is at the elder where i died once then 3 more times to get it back lol. gotta go through plains for a moment to get it so its a bit rough with no good gear
I can, today or tommorow?
Im from Poland so
Its 12am
today preferably? if not its fine! i feel bad asking for physical help so i would really appreciate it. i tried rebuilding some armor and some of my gear but got killed by a one star goblin from another portal when trying to take my mind off it with a 2nd base build. kinda given up getting my stuff back for now so im not in a rush
not easily, unless you create a new charicter. it would require you know a little bout how code works. this is a steam article about the topic: https://steamcommunity.com/app/892970/discussions/1/3180111158759391483/
ive used up all my "just in case" gear trying to get it back to no avail
Alright, thanks, I'll read it.
there is a server post about helping people get there stuff back (body recovery squad): https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1033392094817046630
oh thank you Nevyn! ill check it out i didnt know, mb
meh, I just like to help/redirect people to the specific spot they may be looking for.
thank you so much!
what does "cant be teleported" mean? i cant go through portals with said item in my inventory?
Yep, exactly that.
i see
Has there been a recent update that changed bows or something? I feel like they're insanely unaccurate right now, one shot land one place while the next aimed at the exact same place with the same draw back lands like 2 meters away from it. Never experienced this before
Bows haven't been changed in a long time.
That's what i thought, strange that I'm having this issue right now then
should i make a black metal sword or keep my max upgraded frostner?
black metal has higher damage overall, but frostner is good vs skeletons/ghosts/undead due to spirit damage and has a slowing effect from frost.
which is best for mistlands?
personally, I like having more time to consider what to do next when a enemy approaches me, so frostner is my preferred, but that is not to say I wouldn't be packing both for a solo playthough.
it's good to have options
how do i deal with ghosts?
u hit em until they are dead... again
if u struggle with melee, just hit them with arrows
also, sometimes my screen just floods with fog, why is that and can i prevent it?
sometimes it's foggy.
Same reason it's sometimes raining.
well i can still see in the rain, but well if i cant really do nothing about it, thats fine then, ill just keep hitting the ground till i hit what i want
Well, i tried to solo Moder and honestly, it's a bit ridiculous. Is there a strategy to it or is it just an attrition battle?
does the stuff respawn in the burial chambers? specifically mushrooms and cores
Just the mushrooms.
is there any 1 who can help me and my friend kill yagluth
How dangerous are these mines? Also, I thought the Black Cores only spawned in secret rooms? I see 2 at the entrance lol
anyone know how i can get rid of this fog? it also appears in blackforrest
these are my graphic settings
is there any copper inside all this dirt that is inside the copper veins?
yes dig through it
i also asked about that one or two scrolls up, basically u cant do nothing about it ig
anyone have any tips on preventing leeches from sucking the life out of my longship thats docked in the swamps?
alright
im heading to defeat bonemass and the swamp biome its in doesnt have any other biomes around it
if you play with portals you can always destroy the ship by yourself and pack it up, generally its always recommended to put the ship inside a box if youre not safe from mobs
or you could kill all the leeches and leave the area. so its not "active" anymore meaning no mobs will attack your ship
with area i mean the area where your ship is rendered in
thx
I guess there's no secret cheese strategy. Anyone wants to help me out with grinding Moder?
is there a guide for how to add mods to a server? im using nitrado and I have r2modman
Well, that video didn't have that much strategy. And i'm too bad too defeat it in a fair fight.
sry ive sent the wrong one; ive sent you a private message with tips
frost. Most of the creatures in ML are resist to everything else.
So, having defeated moder earlier today going in not knowing what it was or anything, I used the draugr bow with poison arrows when it was flying, and when it was on the ground I just clubed it to death. It took a few minutes and feels like a slow fight.
When its on the ground, its possible to roll under it and have all its hit boxes miss you while you hack away at it. When it uses ice breath on the ground or flying just roll.
Well, i guess i just need to get good.
u think this is enough to beat bonemass?
I think it should be but im still paranoid due to "past experiences" with the dude
is there a command to get rid of the fog in mistlands the biome looks so cool but this fog is unbearable i just got jumpscared by a seeker soldier?
can i craft arrows or anything that uses wood (except of course buildings) with corewood?
Is is possible to remap control inputs for a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller for Valheim?
I cannot seem to do it.
There are a few weapons that use corewood.
nothing that is consumable.
however corewood will work in your kilns to produce coal
this fireplace will not destroy with my hammer -- any ideas??
might be a feature, like the one belonging to Haldor?
what do i do when i first get to the mistlands im confused i killed seekers and got magecap
and got black marble
yeah that i know, thats why that question came to mind, im living in the black forest and tbh i get way more corewood than wood
I had same issue when I was in BF. use your corewood in the kiln and keep wood for building.
or build lots of log cabins. That was also what I did with my corewood.
anything in particular thats causing problems? what food are you using?
Sausages, eyescream, black soup.
so I used serpent stew, wolf skewer, and eyescream
but even with your combo it should be okay
also use the bonemass power
I used the iron mace and iron buckler when it was on the ground
if you want to cheese her, you can put up 5x high earth pillars around her altar, she can't navigate them easily.
otherwise, just grab your best two bows and a ton of poison/obsidian arrows.
I usually just shoot her.
you can just shoot at her true, but i got impatient and meleeing did much more damage. And when she flies you switch to bow anyway
Idk if i should tell this here or #steam-bugs-discussion but i get random black screens and my game crashes often
-i dont know how to read these crash logs
-I reainstalled nvidia drivers using ddu
-I checked the ram and my ssd
-I have all drivers and updates
-I checked the windows files (sfc /scannow)
-GPU around 80° capped fps (60) and 100° on 144 this is when game crashes but even capping it on 60 doesn't help so it's not because of the temperatures
i5 11400f
rtx 3060 12gb
16 gb ram
at this point i dont know if the game is buggy or is there smth wrong with my pc
demanding games such as cyberpunk (with rtx) and rdr2 with mods run great.
(I played Valheim about a year or 2 ago and I didn't have such problems, maybe it's because of the update idk)
It may be related to the Unity engine,"Planet Crafter" also crashes.
I saw that a lot of people had this problem (with unity) but none of their solutions helped me.
Thanks everyone for the advice. I managed to kill Moder. Building a cheese portal beneath the altar and upgrading my equipment helped.
GGs mate.
black metal only comes from fulings?
have you tried using vulkan, or if you're using vulkan already giving directx a try?
is your gpu overclocked or do you read hotspot temperature? 100°C sounds quite high tbh, but crashes at 80°C when capped@60fps kinda rule an overheating issue out as you said.
if valheim ran fine 2 years ago i'd reinstall windows tbh, but i'm kinda addicted to valheim so not everybody wants to go through that hassle lol
Have fun and explore
if my friend is hosting a server on his pc and we need to use infinity hammer does him and i both need to have the mod downloaded?
im just rushing to ashlands because this is my least favorite biome already
i assume only the admin client needs it. you'll need it too if you want to use it tho.
Black screen sounds display adapter related usually. I have the same card so try running uncapped perhaps? Are you running it factory OC or undervolted perhaps?
100c is running pretty hot tbh
is there a way to rename my world
Yes in the local worlds folder, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Might break stuff
so do lox and fulings not agro each other?
no they are friends
gross
this faction is called "Plains", the growth is one of the plains denizens that is not part of that faction, its part of the "Undead"
the growth?
The tar blobs
well that might exlpain it then, cuz ive explored a lot of plains and never seen any tar. Guess im unlucky
Hey gang. Does anyone know how I specify world modifiers on a dedicated server? I presume they're in the start-up command, but I've not been able to find a list of commands.
If you've never come across them before, you'll definitely know them when you see them. My advice is find somewhere high in a new plains area and have a look around before you go dashing across the landscape. 🙂
literally just found my first one
okay so fck the blobs
not even 2 seconds in Im tarred and almost dead lmfao
Yeh, if players haven't learned to dodge yet, Growths are where you're forced to.
i mean having never encountered them before I didnt expect them to attack so fast, the other blobs were relatively harmless
do they respawn anywhere tar is?
oh this is nice... "it is stuck in the tar" lmfao
if the area is not spawnproof some growths will respawn yes
They'll respawn fully in undrained tarpits, and they'll respawn far less frequently (and only one or two) in emptied tarpits
you have to drain the pit to get all the tar, its quite an undertaking
sounds fun ._.
You get good at it soon enough
so can items in the tar be recovered when drained? i mean like dropped items not the nodes
nvm i did it lol
to build with tar you'll need a lot, for the new comfort items one pit will usually have you covered if you fully drain it
yeah drained it fully and got about 100
are the lingering meads the best?
does taming require walls or can you tame out in the open so long as theres food on the ground?
no walls required. for boars, i build them a box. for lox, i build me a box.
so it will be tamed so long as I left enough food out for it? Do I have to be close or can i leave and come back?
that's kindof up to you, but i prefer them.
so im feeding a lox out in the open, and I see the hearts on it but theres no "acclimating" % like I saw with the boars
right. for lox, i sneak up behind them and throw berries in a few different directions around where they're chillin. then i hide in my box. you don't have to be super close, but if you leave render distance the taming progress will pause until you go back (at which point they'll need to find+eat a new food off the stack)
you have to be pretty close to them for the acclimating % to show. as long as they're popping little hearts, you're good
gotcha, thanks. Im using flax at the moment and the hearts are popping up for the past few minutes, justr couldnt see the acclimating signal so wasnt sure
yep. and if hearts stop, they're either tamed, or have wandered away from the food, in which case you can wait if you think they'll wander back (i dont think they'll lose their progress, it just pauses), or throw more food where they've moved to
if you sneak close enough for their health bar to show, you'll see a green bar when they're tamed, and a red one if they're noy done yet and just need more bites
i snuck up right to its butt and saw the pop up. Hes at 30% rn thanks
👍
last thing,can I ride it as soon as its tamed or does it need a saddle or something?
thanks
hes tameddddd
🥳 what will you name him
No.
I named him Mushy but will prolly change it
I dont suppose I can ride him through a portal to bring him to a different continent? 👀
ship him? hell fit in a longship?
yeah with the longship. And I think when the serpent coming the lox might want to fight it
yeah it's a daytime thing. not too close to swamps or shores with enemies or he'll jump out. or break your boat
why are some rocks indestructible?
how is a tamed lox affected when its hungry?
They go on murderous rampages.
Must. Feed. THE. BEAST.
[They are not affected at all. Just like everything else you can tame.]
do they get more stamina (or regen) when fed?
Nope.
wiki says they regen stamina faster when fed...
They heal when fed. But it isn't a lasting regen buff.
factory oc valheim is only game that overheats my gpu (takes 100% from it ) i will clean my pc from dustater i will see if it helps
i ve saw that a lot of people has problem with ashalands game isn't optymized yet (I guess)
my friend with gtx 1660 and like i5 5th-7th gen has no problems
I would like to avoid reinstalling Windows, but if it is necessary, I will probably do it
factory oc graphic card i can send dmp file if that helps
Sounds like you know what you’re doing mate so bit of a head scratcher this one. Cleaning the GPU heat sync etc can’t help. Wouldn’t bother with a windows reinstall though.
Check your pc fans for gathered dust, especially those involved in cpu cooling. I've had crashes on an older previous pc due to that.
dust? my pc is "DUST" i wanted to clear it this week but i had no time (I'm renovating my room )i will prob do it later in about 6-7 hours
one question can somebody give me link to a webside /reddit post or smth that teaches how to read this type of crash logs? all the guides I found are for devs
(the only logs I can read are from farming and minecraft)
i think this should be in a bugs-discussion
fair i will delete it from here and move it
hi there, i just came back to valheim after a long break to check out the ashlands update, and when i went to my castle in the ashlands the entire thing started crumbling, is there any way to stop this?
No
who can i blame for this?
I'm doing a no-boss run, and I keep hearing about how you can use stag-breaker to find iron in the swamps. They say when it says "Too hard" there is something buried in the ground. I am never seeing this to be the case. I see "Too hard" all the time and nothing underneath.
Am I missing something?
yes, in order to find iron you need to kill the swamp boss, bonemass
Okay, thanks for lying to me.
you are welcome, feel free to ping me if you need anymore help
Does it say too hard when hitting an ancient tree? If it does, try finding iron in places with no trees.
Newer CPUs just run hotter. They’re designed to. An old i5 just isn’t powerful enough to get very hot.
Ah, that makes sense. It adds a little annoyance to this goose chase, ha ha
Might be unrelated, but I had an issue like this years ago playing just God of War on PC, in my case, it sovled itself by turning of FreeSync on the monitor. In theory this shouldn't be an issue between Nvidia GPUs and Freesync anymore, but it's worth a shot I guess. Did all the same stuff as you did, and only this helped for me, hope it helps 🙂
Though, my game was not crashing, just black screen and sound+game was still running 🤷♂️ I used to undervolt my GPU a bit before due to bad thermals in my old case, and some games would just crash right and left (usually Unreal engine games) while I had this, but when running complete stock, never happened again.
your gpu is officially rated for 93°C. ~100°C is definitly quite high if this isnt the hotspot temp. it would be an alright hotspot temp tho. your gpu shouldnt overheat even when running at ~100% for a long while. quite the contrary, you should aspire 100% gpu load whereever possible.
please confirm if you're reading core temp or hotspot temp tho. 100°C core temp is overheated, 100°C hotspot is alright.
i cant read dmp files, sorry.
try running valheim with vulkan. if you're running vulkan already try directx.
Not to sound rude, but.. yourself lol when they update major portions of the map what was once there seldom stays the same.
I’m going to be blaming you.
blame me, please. uwu
Epic imbed fail
Epic embed misspelling.
Do flametal pillars come back up or are they permenately gone?
Much like the ocean leviathan, once they sink, they are gone from what I have heard.
If you want to keep them, unload them by going through a portal or moving away, or leave the game before they finish sinking.
the sinking resets if you leave the area?
The sinking isn’t saved, so if the ore is reloaded it will reset. This should also work for leviathans.
The ore is still removed, though.
Is there a risk of accidentally destroying skeleton/draugr spawners while using thundering berserker axes? I have an area with buried spawners that I use for skill training, and I don't want to break the spawners
a padded armor is worth it?
They shouldn’t be targeted but it’s a good idea to check at another spawner first
Yes
imo, yes. you'll probably want full padded armor set for plains boss fight
Okay thanks
Finding iron without a key is such a pain. It's like a needle in a haystack.
yep
how do i put copper in the smelter?
There is two holes, one for coal and one for ore
There are two chutes, on opposite sides. One for coal the other for ore.
oh ok, didnt see the ore one
Thanks. Ill ignore his hunger until hes damaged
Which weapon is best to defeat Yagluth?
Frostner or silver sword
Okay thank you
Don’t forget fire resistance barley wine when fighting him
It's the channel lol
Silver Sword
Oop. Discord slow to update.
only thing i dont like about riding the lox is how they destroy everything in their path. Some foliage I wouldnt mind leaving as is lol
hey, are there any other big rocks spawnable from mistlands besides the two cliffs?
oh and another thing, why does the lox suddenly turn into a paper skinned frailboned weakling once tamed? It lost all the tankiness 🙃
can i plant berries?
No, you need to forage for berries and mushrooms.
damn
There might have been a question before but it's too much to read and find the answers I need. I logged into my old world because I was curious how the new update will be. I farmed this metal before the update but I still haven't found any use of it. Am I missing something? I need to start a new world anyways because this fell apart with the update, I'm just very curious.
You can’t use old flametal, you need to get it after the ashlands update.
why can i use corewood to fuel kilns and not campfires?
Okay, thank you
Why would you want to?
It would be a massive waste.
because i live in the black forest, i get full chests of core wood and too little wood, and a trip to the meadows aint worth it, unless i bring a cart or something
Because sometimes you have metric assloads of Core Wood lying around 🤷♂️
exactly
The little wood you get to fuel fires should be more than enough
Firs give 20 wood, same as beech. Pine gives 15 wood and 15 core on average.
Honestly don't worry about it. once you get to swamp, you're going to be smelting assloads of iron; you'll burn through all that corewood and then some making enough coal.
I've been trying to get the queen but i'm worreid about doing it alone - any advice?
Stop worrying and do it alone. 👍
black metal chests are so good I could weep 
Never give your water away.
does crop spacing depend on the space between the center of the crop or from side to side?
Center afaik.
i thought grey damage meant what i am hitting is resistant to something, why is a tree resistant to a bronze axe??
the bronze axe has more slash damage than chop damage, so slash ends up getting to decide the colour of the damage numbers, and trees are immune to slash, hence grey
so that's unintended but doesn't mean anything
Hi can anyone play a session with me, new to the game.
so its still better than the flint axe?
yepp!
alr
i just checked and i have "amd freesync premium" enabled i disabled it maybe it will help me
On your screen settings, right ?
how do i get a gate to build halfway in for stone walls?
it keeps snapping to one side only
but not the middle.
yup
Okay, lmk if it works or not
I also found the temps getting a lot better after i added those gfx-things to the boot file
huh?
I will run the game with locked 60 fps ; if it doesn't crash, I will consider it a partial success. If it also doesn't crash at 144 fps, it will be a complete success.
so give me like hm 30 min
Also capping at 120fps helped a bit for me
adding two lines so your boot.config looks like this:
gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs=1
wait-for-native-debugger=0
hdr-display-enabled=0
gc-max-time-slice=10
build-guid=e88e6a1b92ab451888849cb048042aaf
Though let gc-max-time be at standard, I just tested something
hm idk why but temps are better than yesterday
when do i get a chest upgrade? chests are very very small
there are 2 better chest variants, one is unlocked when you reach the swamp and the second is unlocked when you reach the plains
alr
hey I am new is anyone looking to do a little Co-op?
i think #1024264966712340510 would be a better place to ask
rog
is the cartography table of any use in solo?
i will try it and check if 120-144 fps crashes ]
not really, unless you count esthetics or have mods that use it.
what did u do to resolve your problems? my game kinda lags sometimes and i also have a good pc, but idk how to solve it
Decoration.
alright then, thx
this helped me
.
my game wasnt lagging but it was crashing so its kinda diffrent story
i also dont think i have freesync on so yeah
awesome
@odd warren Please don't sent zipped files
i will remember that, can I upload crash.dmp and player.log, but not as a zip file?
it should allow you to, yes
maybe someone understand this gibberish
if you are mod-less, I would ask around the more specific help sections and may be the programming chat section. https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550301341782027
oh thx
there is 1 problem.. i cant send files on #programming
you can always link back to this chat if anyone needs a refrence.
or are you meaning chatting? if its not allowing you to chat, you need to add the channel like most every other.
oh i forgot u can do this
hope someone there can help you.
Not sure what #programming would do. That's not really for game bugs / issues
someone there might be able to read and understand the problem better than the general help section was my reason for listing it.
I don't know how this game is made (i mean code), but most of the time crash logs are designed so that normal users (like me) can understand them. Sadly, that's not the case here
maybe its not possible in unity idk im not a dev
Use a door as a ‘spacer’ - snap it to an edge, then snap the gate to the door, then remove the door - similar to how you make a gap-bridge.
would the update content be present on already existing saves pre update?
In unexplored areas, yes.
nice, does that mean the map is procedurally generated on the fly?
No.
To an extent, yes.
hm i checked it valheim have problem accesing some file code :0xc0000005
That says less than nothing pretty much.
locations are generated as you get close, heightmap and biome locations are predetermined
And leviathans, weirdly.
Flying cart bug
yeah.. im trying to figure it out
moving forward is like running up a small invisible hill
May I offer a tip?
if the tip is undoing the bug Its alright, moving backward takes me back down the invisible hill lol
No.
It's Tasty Mead >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Any Stamina Potion
I know, I just crafted a bunch early game and want to use em up
Fair.
ehh
i take it back. I cant fix the bug lol
is queen's jam worth crafting? i think its stats end up being worse than if i ate both blueberry and raspberry
Jam
- 1 Food Slot
- 14 Health
- 40 Stamina
Raspberry + Blueberry
- 2 Food slots
- 15 Health
- 45 Stamina
- 7.5 HP per slot
- 22.5 Stam per slot
- Objectively worse
im pretty sure at the time you unlock it or are supposed to, its good. But will be outclassed quickly. Queens jam offers more health and duration than either berry
misrembered then
It's good all the way through the Black Forest.
If you're using 2 Food Slots anyway... just eat Jam and Blueberry?
Though if you're running HSS in the Black Forest, it's Jam + Carrot Soup as far as "best" in that biome.
i mean queens jam does take a lot of each berry from what i remember
But it also makes 4 per batch.
8 R + 6 B = 4 Jam
Jam also lasts 20 min instead of the 10 min berries do.
exactly, thats why i thought it would be worse, it uses a lot of my berries just to give me half of what i used back in jam, when it gave me almost the same stats
That's not how numbers work.
i prefer eating 1 of each berry every 10 minutes than to waste most of my berries in a slightly bigger buff, specially since i mostly use the berries for when im mining, once i get into the boss fight, at that time, yes, it would be better to use jam since it gives a lil more than if i ate the 2 berries, and then i could use the last 2 food slots for hp
Noone should be eating JUST berries. That's nonsense.
*After Meadows ofc
Sure.
ty!
Raw Carrot is better stats than both berries.
Is farmable, and can be made into Soup for even more stats.
the only thing im doing now is mining, why should i eat anything else other than stamina buffers when all im doing is running and hitting my pickaxe on rocks? i never said i only eat berries, i eat everything i can find while i explore since its sustainable, which would be berries, and mushrooms
Hi guys i need some help, i am trying to play with some friends in my own world, i click on start server and crossplay (they are from steam and xbox and i am from steam) they can see my server in the list but cant connect it says "Failed to connect", but when one of them start the server everybody can join even me, does anyone know why does it happens when i start the server? and anyone know how to fix it? My steam game was a gift that a friend sent me, i dont know if it makes any diference.
okay thanks
i havent started cultivating, like i said, im currently mining so like u can imagine, im gathering bronze, but yes, i already have lots of carrot seeds i also found while exploring
You are actively making the game harder for yourself. But then there's a lot of it about.
cant seem to get the spacing right on plains crops... most of them arent making it to maturity despite saying theyre healthy earlier on...
what I find easiest is to move sideways (strafe) and plant. it gets close to 1 crop every meter or so and they largely are all reaching maturity.
i know, i do that for the other crops and never had this problem. Flax and barley seem to be amiss for me. Im breaking even on produce instead of multiplying my crop
nah, im saving myself much much time, but you do you buddy
Hey guys so me and my frnd been playing the game, We are noobs so we still are in the weadows and roaming around with flint knives, We were making our house when we see that a guy joined the server even tho we have a password
He could have guessed it but when he saw us he spawned these hugeee fire skelies with are killing us left and right
sumonned troll i think]
Sounds like you don't have a really good password if I had to guess.
same as the server name lol
so how do we tackle this? these trolls are wreaking us and its making the exp bad 😦
Change the password?
i am trying to acces cheats so i can kill thrm but it seems like i cant do offile for a world once its been in a seevrr?
Who owns the server?
lmao thats done and we kicked the guy, Now the trolls remain plaguing us
Me
i press f5 but no debug menu comes up
Download the world file locally.
Apply all cheats. Kill trolls. Delete drops.
Repair anything you need to while in cheat mode.
Save.
Upload repaired world to server to replace current files on server.
Also tick the box that has your server publicly listed as a community server so it doesn't show up for all to see.
Wait so can u come over and kill the trolls?
From my phone?
sure
Not how this game works, lol.
Obviosuly i mean with your pc., Whats with the snarky replies my guy
Did I not just take the time to fully explain how to fix the issue?
And instead you want me to leave whatever I am doing IRL, go home, get on my PC, and fix it for you.
And instead of doing a whole dramatic "I can't right now because" I simply explained I am on my phone, sono, I cannot fix your problem (that I just fully explained how you can fix it yourself).
And instead of "Cool." or "Thanks." I get "What's with the snark?"
Sure............................................................................
Again the help is appreciated, I meant in general when i asked so can u come over and kill them, Its fine and i am not forcing you, Instead of the smartass reply u could be like no man cant rn, That simple to be a little more kind right?
i CAN
Yup will do, Just super new to the game so have no idea, Didn't know a possible solution would be a bit complicated.
servers are a beast of there own to deal with compared to solo play.
Yeah....
If i'm around, im playing valheim, and i'm usually down to help or in need of it... add me on steam and let's be friends
personal recommendation, treat anything online that requires a password like it is linked to your bank account and make a good one that is hard to guess.
i should make atgeir or bronze axe(weapon and tool) ?ive always crafter axe but atgeir looks nice
835351395 is my steam name
Use bank password for all accounts. Got it.
😼
😛
Totally what you said, right? 😁
atgeir is a lot of fun
axe is very utilitarian
so its tool+weapon vs cool looking weapon
not just cool looking, but very functional for AOE in exchange for a larger chunk of stamina.
definately not, when I said bank I meant social security number but I am too lazy to go back and change it
Use social security number as password.
Got it.
yeah i made atgeir secondary attack is cool asf
ya it is. and super useful if you get mobbed(like with wolves).
mind, the "cant hit on slopes" is still an issue, but if it was relative flat ground, wolf packs wouldn't stand a chance.
how can i get a cart out of water? its the second time it happens and im going crazy
Is this a big starter island?
nvm i got it up on some platforms and its finally coming out
well nvm again, a troll appeared, sent me back to the water, killed me and destroyed my cart, what happens to the loot now?
its a log one, how do i get my stuff back now
if the cart is destroyed, it should leave behind little crates that act like storage chests.
same with boats.
does blackmetal continue to be useful through ashlands?
yeah i just saw that, but how do i get the stuff back now? my base is like half an hour trip away
@steel thorn kinda, you need that pickaxe for the metal there, and the atgeir might be useable for the AOE.
either you take that hike, or make a boat if you have the nails to do so. option 3 is to invite someone, like the BRS, into your world to help.
i only have the 10 nails from the cart, so idk
what i could do is, leave a chest here with the tin, take the hike back, and bring the material to craft another cart
that would work
i mean, not the material for the cart, the material for the forge since i need that to build it
ah. whatever you choose to do, remember the troll will likely still be there. so when you arrive you wana either beat the troll or have it chase you far from your stuff, before returning to collect it.
Use the troll to help you finish mining.
^ that is also a option if copper is near by.
idk man, log troll is mad
troll just destroyed the chest i was putting the tin, i thought mobs didnt attack stuff that didnt prevent them from spawning?
for devcommands, i can place down materials in no placementcost but not built things? is there a way im doing something wrong? or do i have to spawn the materials
im about to lose my shi and activate cheats tbh
i spent like more than an hour for that tin
i bet more than 2 hours tbh
If devcommands is on.
F5
debugmode
close the console
Press B.
doesn't debugmode need to be enabled for key commands like free build, fly and kill?
neverming i missed that you listed it.
i keep dying, and the troll keeps destroying the damn chest im trying to store the tin, can someone explain why?
if its a standard chest and the troll can see it, it will destroy it if it cant get to you.
That's what pressing f5 and typing "debugmode" does. It enables it.
That's what I was getting at.
i definitly missed that part on the first read.
ye i give up, how do i turn cheats on? im just gonna turn ghost mode and get the tin to a safe place then deactivate it, also does something happen to my world when i do activate cheats?
nothing changes for the world at large unless you use it to build or something. but to retrieve your stuff, there wont be any impact besides you not dieing.
alright, how do i activate it then?
#valheim-help message is the majority of the in game steps. but before that you need to enable the console: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console
I’m gonna be that guy - I totally get the frustration, but be aware that once you use a cheat once there is no going back, and you will be more likely to use a cheat in the future - the game is all about overcoming challenges, carefully consider whether you want to walk that path.
im not the type of guy who cheats in games tbh, i like the challenge, but spending literal hours mining for tin, and then having your cart get stuck on the water one time, then u FIANLLY get it back to earth, then u reach a spawner who literally spawns a 1 star brute, 2 star greydwarf, shamans, and a bunch of greydwarfs (specially cuz its night time), then keep dying and coming back, finally cleaning allat, getting the cart stuck again and finally taking it back to earth again, and then once u think everything is fine, a log troll appears and absolutely shreds all u the work u had, dont u think i took enough for the last hours man?
cuz at that point its not really fun anymore, its just very very bad luck, plus the cart being hard to control on certain terrains, specially near water, which ends up being its main use of it, to get tin
Yeah, totally understand. Have been there myself.
also, i wanted to try vulkan since ppl say it is better if u get some lag or crashed on the normal version (which i do), is it ok to switch from valheim to vulkan? like, will my world have some trouble or wtver?
well then u understand my frustation
vulkan is just a different method to process the game. the game itself doesn't change.
I personally wouldnt recommend trying to take a cart in the black forest without having a road paved for it. Too many hills and trees. Just gather a load and bring it to an outpost and then have a road from that outpost to your base that you use the cart for
so it is hit-or-miss with vulkan helping lag.
Absolutely. And I am not saying you shouldn’t play the way you want to. Just mentioning that it’s a slippery slope.
i tried, i really tried, i spent literally half an hour just to try and get my tin to a safer place, which i couldnt cuz i had a troll, and now greydwarfs coming after me cuz its night time already, i cant even get my loot to try and fight them cuz i end up dying anyways
that would end up being much much work, specially because im miles away from my base
Oh well in that case you should be trying to get the materials to a boat
i see
ye, thats what i was thinking on doing next time i need tin
Do you have portals yet?
believe me, it takes me much to end up having to cheat on a survival game, but this time, it was really too much, i just cant bare the ideia of losing hours of progress
i havent crafted one yet, but i can if i want to, yes
Ok, next time, take a portal with you (and have one set up in your base to connect to). It doesn’t help with transporting the ore, but what it allows you to do is to get back to base at the end of the day, to rest, and then quickly get back out to where you were, in the morning.
i mean that would work yes, but probably take more space in my inv
What I would do in this instance, is rest and then head out in the morning (probably with a portal), because Black Forest at night early on is deadly.
it says debugmod isnt valid for the current context
so ur saying to just leave the tin behing?
did you put in "devcommands" without the quotes?
For the night, yes. Go get it during the day. When you’re not having to fight so many mobs.
its already day time rn
but the troll still stands, and the tin is still at ground
day time is (corpse) run time.
You will need to deal with the troll. Either kite him away or kill him. Whichever you find easiest.
tbh i think vulkan is lagging a bit more
from what little I have read, vulkan more often helps those with AMD hardware not intel. I have a intel processor (i5) so it never seemed to help for me.
Romulan > Vulcan
i've gotten a performance boost from vulkan on nvidia as well
hmm. good info to have.
yo decided to boot up valheim again after a while
new pc
same result with and old save world and a new world
and it just crashes when i try to load into a world
the window hangs and goes into (not responding) and then i have to close it
ive tried normal launching and with vulcan
ik its not a pc problem cuz i run other games fine like elden ring,ds3,spiderman,etc
also verified the integrity of the filesa, any help would be appreciated
i have amd for my cpu and nvidia for my gpu
i think @odd warren also had the same problem (not sure, and sorry if it isnt), maybe he could help u out
Hope so, I like this game
if you get to the "not responding" error and haven't loaded a world since ashlands went live, try letting it work for 5-10 minutes without tabbing out or clicking anything. that sometimes fixes it.
heyo
i know i can break the hand around yagluth's spawn thing
but some fingers have like a protective layer that i cant hit so i can only break the sides of it
u can see here there is a second layer
if it shows no damage, keep circling around and trying different points.
if that fails, dig below it and see if it collapses.
weirdest part is i just broke one of the fingers 😂
but yea no i cant see any more damage numbers
is the bronze sword worth crafting? i mean, is it worth crafting mutiple bronze weapons?
considering the next biome, a bronze mace would be the better weapon. ||mind, both would work but slimes and skeletons (about half of the enemies you face) are weaker to blunt damage||
also, is any of these used for cultivating?
those aren't plantable but are still usefull.
i see, i already crafted the atgeir since this biome swarms me so much, should i also make the mace, and ignore the sword then?
the dandelion and thistle will be used for a resistance mead useful for the next biome also.
the bukeberries are just if you need to swap foods fast.
ie: you have base building foods in you and don't wana wait 20 minutes to swap them to fight a boss or a sudden raid
also how can i plant these?
good evenin I can't play with anyone becaus its an older version with no update option
i see
you can not, they are used to summon the dark forest boss
those are for the 2nd boss much like the deer trophies for the first.
oooh, makes sense
do i have enough?
yes
i think so...would have to look up the wiki to be sure, but i think its like 4(?)
i uninstalled and reinstalled it didn't fix the issue
are you getting a error when you try to launch the game?
good
Not just outdated version message
no hes trying to connect to a server but it says that he's on a lower version than needed
i think i planted some stuff too close to each other, can i get them back or do i have to wait till the healthy ones grow?
she
sometimes they grow regardless its a bit weird haha, but yea no i'd wait for the healthy ones to grow
unfortunately, they might die before the others fully grow but yes.
sorry bout that
what happens if I log off when standing on a boat? will I log in on the boat?
i cant join servers and no one can join me its driving me loco
ah, if it is about game versions that brings into question weather PTB is involved or not.
is anyone playing modded, including you
if you're playing solo, yes.
mp
sad
i did one time
i see, i guess ill pray to the gods then
didn't care for it
well best of luck i cant help u there
#valheim-help message discribes how to remove old mods and start fresh.
dont think anyone answered this, if someone did, sorry i didnt see
i'd ignore the sword myself, i also did that
?
aight thx mate
if you follow those steps i linked to, it should allow you to boot up a server, since the game will be back to vanilla.
will it also give me the correct version
the mods might be messing with the client
maybe thats the reason the version isnt 'correct'
ok tyvm
no guarantees its just a theory
do you know what your game version is? it should be 0.218.19 if you are not in public test branch.
0.218.17
aha
that might be PTB then. that would explain some of the connection issues.
ptb?
public test branch
wth i dl the game
unless your friends trying to connect to you are also opted-in for PTB/BETA then they wont be able to connect to you. you can go back to "live" though with some steps.
I don't want to be in ptb
but 0.218.19 isnt ptb?
They're not ON .19
#valheim-patchnotes message not according to the patch notes
she should be able to update to .19 right?
Yes.
no update available
thats weird
Have you ever been on the PTB? I see you have the Discord role.
Make sure your steam isn't set to offline mode, that will stop updates from coming through. done it on accident a few times myself.
that's another hurtle I didn't consider.
https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550076216573962 is the specific chat for help regarding xbox issues, but I would try to check if you are opted into any betas and opt out.
ok ty
good luck
i am so confused, im in no ptb but i am on .19
then why would .17 be on ptb instead of .19 if its older?
@frigid yarrow out of curiosity, which patch is your game on? it should show in the lower right corner when you're in the valheim main screen
.17 as she said earlier.
i was reading the log and couldn't find it, that's why i asked
Because .19 is a newer bug fix patch that went straight to live.
PTB isn't always a higher version number
ohh okay didnt know that
99.9% of the time it is. This is the first I can remember in a long time that it wasn't.
that explains my confusion then
definitely an exception
is root harnesk better than the carapace breastplate for the Queen?
i would argue yes because there are many seekers spawned during the fight, and the harnesk nerfs those seeker's damage by a large amount
however, it is doable with both
She will 100% break your guard and stagger you. I havent tried with flametal yet but with the carapace stuff I never could.
she can be parried by the buckler, not sure about the shield, but parry doesn't do much for you in a boss fight aside from reducing the damage you take -- bosses do not get staggered, so it's usually a better use of stamina to roll rather than parry.
gotcha
do i do something in these
Dark picture is dark! lol
no, sometimes there are surtling cores on them or bones to pick up, but that's it
oh alr
its like the end of burial chambers corridors
Ah, right, yeah, what Kevver said.
sometimes its gems or gold instead of bones or cores.
how can i get rid of items if i dont have obliterator?
is it better to block knowing ill get staggered?
Dodge
dig a hole, drop them down the hole. or build a dock, throw them off the dock into deep water
Leave them away from base structures or in the ocean. They will despawn after a while.
alr
does rolling have i frames?
yes
how much of the roll is invulnerable?
I dont know the exact number/time and I dont think the wiki lists it....let me look
ty. not sure how id even test that tbh
unless you were screen recording and had a timer on your in game HUD, it would be difficult
and I didnt see any websites including wiki listing the seconds of invulnerability.
ah well. guess ill just have to get a feel of it. so far I have been trying to learn how to parry, but some attacks just seem too heavy
parry depends on a couple things. max hp and armor if i am not mistaken.
1hp food and 2 stamina will get you by most of the time but for anything that has a star, you might wana bump up to 2hp/1stam.
ic
if i build my base here and raise the ground max would the waves go through the floor?
yup
💀 😭
unless you raise the ground to be higher than the waves during a storm
if i raise it to the cap
then it should be fine. raise 1 pillar and wait for a storm just to make sure though
I think you should check your aspect ratio. That seems very... squished vertically
oh i was playing fortnite on 1280x1080 and forgot to change it back
mans playing with W I D E vikings :D
We made a base on an island (somewhat bigger than that one, but it started at much the same elevation), raised the ground, I believe as high as it would go, and it's fine.
^ and theres your answer! even from first hand experience ^
Have a funny timed clip.
@ashen olive what aspect do you play on?
ultrawide. just match to whatever your monitor is
just me getting comboed by a growth haha
probably not something for the help channel. all we can say here is... bad luck, and skill issue lol
haha its the only channel I could post it in
im in ashlands on my solo and its very hard but this death was a funny one that just happened when I was guiding my brother through the game.
showing him the ropes I mean on a character I made for the world.
waaaay down at the bottom is a channel for video clips that are valheim gameplay: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202263390056357928
@ashen olive better?
there is a channel!!
yep, yes there is. lots of people don't realize you can scroll the chat sections.
is there a devcommand for infinite stamina?
from 40 i got 24, id say its good enough lol
so long as you plant a couple so you can have more for later. mistlands has a great food that uses those.
set StaminaRate 0 should work.
i believe there is. I don't know it off the top of my head but|| heal ||would help refill the bar. something to do with setting stamina drain to zero. also, the clothing from hildir has stamina drain reduction for building and stuff.....and Derek beat me to it.
i mean those carrot plants respawn right?
i cant just look for them whenever i go explore if so
yes, if you plat* them, they will turn into "seed" carrots, you then replant the seeds you get to get more carrots.
its a bit of a process
oh wait...
the native ones respawning. I'm not sure on that. let me double check the wiki.
Yes, native carrot seed plants respawn.
Yeah, all pickables respawn.
so theres more ways other than picking from the ground?
Farming.
a word isnt gonna clear it out for me since i dont know what u mean
You can turn carrots into more seeds to expand your production.
yes, using the cultivator(uses bronze i think), you can replant some plants and get more in the process.
@frank bobcat if you're having issues with cultivating vegetables, you're probably planting the rows too close together or in the wrong place (they need sunlight).
oh yeah, i just saw my cultivator unlocked that new recipe, damn
ah, you just hadn't seen the seed carrot option?
yes, thats what i said earlier, the plant itself says its too out of space to grow when i look at it, idk what space it should have tho
about 1m apart
roughly 1m
ye, when i picked the carrots for the first time i didnt see the new cultivator thing, thought it was just new meal recipes
well since im not exactly using the carrots rn, ima do that, turn the carrots into more seeds
is this enough space?
ok, each seed produces one carrot, then each seed carrot produces 3 seeds, so you can be fairly rough and ready with your planting, just be sure to replant at least 1/3 of your carrots until you have enough.
is it ok if i plant them all rn? im not currently using them
that should be enough for spacing.
alright
That's more than enough. Drop a 1x1 floor tile on the ground to get an idea of the ideal spacing (note you can't leave the tile on the ground).
^ that is a good idea for a first time farm
well its basically a 1x1 tho
Yep, plant them all up if you don't need them. You'll have more than enough seeds and carrots in no time.
alrighty
The 'ideal' is to have 1 plant literally at each corner. But you don't need to be that exact. Just eyball it and it'll be fine.
You'll learn the click rhythm soon enough.
i did em like this, no need to be exact rn, i dont really have much to plant so its alright lol
Now, when you get to planting trees you'll want to be much more accurate, because they produce fewer seeds per tree.
that will be a lot of seeds to plant when they mature into white flowers like you typically see in the black forest.
ye i saw it was like 2m from each tree right? i planted pine trees when i planted my first carrots
That looks good. I'd expect them all to grow and give you 3x the number in seeds.
probably over 50-75
ya, they multiply quick if you take care of em'
Yeah, most trees are 2m, oaks if's 3m, iirc, maybe more, I gave up on getting an oak to grow.
lmao i see
HAHA! I literally plant dozens at a time. And have hundreds of carrots.
thats one of the nice things about farming. you dont have to search, and why so many ppl ask for farmable berry bushes and mushrooms.
I like that most biomes tend to have a mix of farmable and foragable crops.
i think farmable bushes and mushrooms would be cool, rn i dont exactly need them, but when i do, i bet itll be boring
as always: there are mods for that.
Just mark locations on your map. And if they're far enough away, set up portals. Then you can quickly harvest a lot of berries quickly.
and portals^
Red Mushrooms are the thing I find the hardest to keep a good stock of.
yeah i dont quite mess with mods for the moment, i already saw some, but i think it would be better to finish my first playthrough vanilla, specially cuz some mods would probably break something
yep. mods can be fickle. thankfully we have a mod chat here in this discord to help walk through problems people have.
yea ik
i might have a look, and ask in there if it would break anything if i used it or not
long story short: look for mods that are current and have a "ashlands" tag on them to increase your odds of not having issues.
Finish first without mods. Otherwise you are going to anger odin
and some places are bettter than others for the modding comunity. but ya, like almost everyone suggests, mod on a second or 3rd playthough so you know what vanilla is like.
and as you have stated*
lol, cant anger the gods even more else they will send me to whatevercomesnextheim
"tune into nextheim to see that happens next!"
yeah, i still also wanted to have a playthrough with my friends, but the one who bought it, doesn't have time to play, and the bigger group, doesn't like the game or just dont want to buy it
lmao
can anyone help so i have been having a problem were when i try to load a world my game just says valheim.exe and the game crashes and i have done everything file deleted shit and nothing works
full crash or does a warning come up?
it loads and a blue wheel comes up and than it says valheim.exe close program or wait to respond
i looked up everything and nothing works
it might be the "ashlands" bug. have you loaded a world after ashlands went live or is this the first time?
this was before the ashlands
nope
ok. well try to get that error to come up again and don't click anything or tab out of the screen for 5-10 minutes and see if that helps. it might be because ashlands was such a huge update, that it makes your device think the game crashed when it actually hasn't.
if that doesn't help, I would recommend the more specific help channels.
Ok thx
good luck
World modifier page is flagged as outdated? Would anyone know what has changed with world modifiers?
I have too many issues with the balance of valheim and I'd like to start tinkering with it
hello I need some help, I have 2 pc bc of different homes, in one I can play without any issues but when it comes to the second one when I open my world, it doesnt let my friend join and he says that it doesnt ask him for a password and it ends with "failed to connect". When I try to join my friend, the same thing pops up. I play on xbox app bc of the gamepass not on steam.
where are you supposed to put eitr refineries, as they damage the stuff around them?
What is the new building material you get in that same biome?
ah
how do i get into the Ashlands?
Did you kill Queen?
